Inspiration and development
Adolf Vojta's comments on this level :


 * For this map I let inspired myself by AV maps 06 & 24 by Lee and Fish. Both of them are an excellent map with an excellent design. I tried to do a map similar to these but I did a layout with many ways and possible routes to complete. At the start you really don't know where to go so you have to just walk away and seek.

Secrets

 * 1) Near the building with blue bars blocking the entrance, there is a nukage canal east of it. Drop down into that canal and go south. At the end of the canal, there will be two alcoves. The western one has a warning sign that can be pressed on, revealing a soulsphere behind it. (sector 601)
 * 2) In the corridor north of a megasphere sitting in nukage (it's the one near two sludgefalls, northwest of the yellow key area), you might notice a switch behind the tech lamp in the northern part of the corridor. Shoot the switch, and a part of the wall will open in another corridor south of the first one. Drop down to the nukage, take the stairs closer to the east, and go west after reaching the top. Eventually, you will see an alcove with another soulsphere sitting on a teleporter that will take you near the yellow key. (sector 1176)
